A student runs an experiment with two carts on a low-frictiontrack. As measured in the Earth reference frame, cart 1 (m = 0.48kg ) moves from left to right at 1.0 m/s as the student walks alongnext to it at the same velocity. Let the +x direction be to theright.
a) What velocity v⃗ E2,i in the Earth reference framemust cart 2 (m = 0.16 kg ) have before the collision if,in the student's reference frame, cart 2 comes to rest right afterthe collision and cart 1 travels from right to left at 0.33m/s?
b) What does the student measure for the momentum of thetwo-cart system?
c) What does a person standing in the Earth reference framemeasure for the momentum of each cart before the collision?
